← HistoryWhich structural risk increases when improperly seasoning timbers?
A)Hull planking develops excessive marine fouling
B)Increased susceptibility to fungal decay occurs✓
C)Rigging attachment points experience accelerated corrosion
D)Lower center of gravity reduces stability
💡 Explanation
Using unseasoned timbers in shipbuilding leads to increased susceptibility to fungal decay caused by the abundance of moisture that promotes fungal growth via decomposition, therefore wood rots much faster, rather than corrosion or instability issues.
